According to investigators, Kasoma is alleged to have coordinated with accomplices on Nasser Road to manufacture duplicate packaging materials for Numa Products. Authorities say they are still establishing the intended distribution and the extent of the counterfeit goods.
SHIPU, led by Col. Edith Nakalema, said the prosecution reinforces the government’s commitment to protecting investors and ensuring a safe business environment. The unit noted that counterfeiting undermines genuine manufacturers, distorts the market, and puts consumers at risk.
